Description

A native of Regina, Saskatchewan, Connie Kaldor has been performing
for most of her life. Born into a musical family, she grew up singing
in the choir.

Her love of performing led her to a theatre degree from the
University of Alberta, and then to alternative theatre companies such as
the Mummers and Theatre Passe Muraille, an influence still very much in
evidence at any Connie Kaldor concert. Although she left theatre to
pursue her songwriting career quite early, her engaging character and
storytelling skills are hallmarks of her live performances.

In 1981 Connie established an independent record label, now called
Coyote Entertainment. She has recorded 14 albums. By the mid
nineteen-eighties she was headlining folk festivals across Canada and
the U.S.A.

Connie has toured extensively ever since, bringing her music all over
North America and to India, China and Europe as well. She has shared
the stage with innumerable artists, including Shawn Colvin, Tracy
Chapman, Sylvia Tyson, the Chieftains, and Daniel Lanois. In 1984 she
received a Most Promising Female Vocalist Juno nomination for her album
Moonlight Grocery. In 2000 Love is a Truck was nominated for a Juno
in the Folk Roots category. Her books and music for children music have
won numerous awards including Best Children’s Album (1989), U.S.
Parents Choice Award (1990), and Best Children’s Album (2004).
